Scene III
Manet Thais.
Ah me! I fear that he believes me not,
And judges of my heart from those of others.
I in my conscience know, that nothing false
I have deliver’d, nor to my true heart
Is any dearer than this Phædria:
And whatsoe’er in this affair I’ve done,
For the girl’s sake I’ve done: for I’m in hopes
I know her brother, a right noble youth.
To-day I wait him, by his own appointment;
Wherefore I’ll in, and tarry for his coming.
